What's wrong
Walker Stainless Equipment Company LLC (Walker) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Food Grade Tank Trailers. The weld joints that attach the underride guard to the trailer frame may crack.
The risk
If the welds crack, the underride guard may detach from the trailer frame, becoming a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Walker will notify owners, and dealers will modify the underride guard mounting, free of charge. The recall began on February 8, 2017. Owners may contact Walker customer service at 1-800-356-5734. Walker's number for this recall is W-6225,W-6279.
